Toscana Maremma

TALAMONE

This charming fishing village is situated at the southern end of the Uccellina Hills. The Phoenicians or, more probably, the Etruscans built this ancient city on the hill called Talamonaccio. Here one can visit the ruins of the magnificent Etruscan Temple whose pediment is exhibited at Orbetello. The port of Talamone was of great importance in Etruscan times and even more so in the Roman era because of the nearby Via Aurelia, the Roman road, which favoured commerce with inland areas and the capital. The town walls with square towers were built by Siena in the 14th century. In the highest part of the town stands the Rocca, built during Siena’s rule (16th century). From the Rocca there is a splendid view of the rocky coast and the gulf in front of Monte Argentario.

TIRLI

The town of Tirli nestles in luxuriant oak and chestnut woodlands approximately 580m above sea level. This village was a welcome refuge for shepherds as far back as the 16th century, offering travellers a salubrious environment. The Church of Sant’Andrea originally belonged to the Agostinian Monastery and built, as legend tells, by Padre Giovanni at the beginning of the 17th century. This church holds several relics of the patron saint, San Guglielmo.

TORNIELLA

The town of Torniella sits on a hill (430m) above the River Farma on the border between the provinces of Grosseto and Siena. In the highest part of the town the remains of the castle are clearly visible, originally 12th century, with several subsequent modifications. The main, slightly concave facade holds numerous niche-style windows and blind arches, while the other windows and elegant ashlar portal date to a 16th century restoration.
